Among the new technologies for increasing irrigation efficiency is the use of soil moisture sensors for automated irrigation. (sciencedaily.com)
The indirect effects of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, such as changes in soil moisture and plant structure, can have a bigger impact on ecosystems than previously thought. (sciencedaily.com)
For soil moisture and solar radiation, regional differences in the number of suitable plant growing days averaged out globally under all scenarios (solid green and yellow lines in Fig 3). (journals.plos.org)
